Around 2,000 senior citizens in 87 old age homes and 24,965 children in the 729 child care institutions will benefit from the decision
Amaravati: In response to the tweet by president of Vasavya Mahila Mandali Dr B Keerthi, the state government issued a GO to provide 10 kg rice and one kg dal per person to all the old age homes and child care institutions run by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the state.
Principal secretary of the department for women and children, differently-abled and senior citizens K Damayanti while issuing the GO stated that the decision was taken by the Chief Minister keeping in view of the special circumstances wherein the institutions are facing the problem in getting the essential commodities.
